Description
A few kilometers south of Beaune, in the celebrated terroir of Côte des Blancs (Slope of the Whites). Different types of soil are found: deep and colorful around the village, clearer and lighter at mid-slope and nearly white and very rocky in the upper reaches of the appellation. Plantation density is 10,000 stocks/ha in order to extract all possible nuances from the terroir.Yield of 49hl/ha, low on purpose to limit the production of each vine stock. History & tradition: Meursault is certainly one of the oldest villages in Burgundy. The camp of Mont Milan, above the present village, was erected and settled in Neolithic times (2,500 BC), before being occupied by the Gauls (500BC) and then the Romans. It was finally abandoned for the present location of the village built during the Gallo-Roman period, at which time the name Muris Saltus (Meursault) was given to it.
Wonderfully aromatic Meursault, a creamy palate with hazelnut butter, yellow plum and gingerbread complemented by floral notes of linden, chamomile and hawthorn and a dollop of honey.
